SYMPTOMS
========
Server-based user profiles do not work on a computer running only a real- mode
network client.
CAUSE
=====
You must use a 32-bit network client and a network operating system that
supports the creation of home directories to use server-based user profiles.
RESOLUTION
==========
Install a 32-bit protected-mode network client.
MORE INFORMATION
================
You can store user profiles (user-specific information) on a local computer or a
network server. Using user profiles allows multiple users to use a single
computer and retain their individual settings, or to log on to the network from
any computer and use the same desktop settings.
Storing user profiles on a network server requires:
- 32-bit protected-mode client services that support automatic download and
update of user profiles.
- A network operating system that supports the creation of home directories.
The protected-mode client network services included with Windows 95 download
and update user profiles from the following directories:
- Microsoft Client for Microsoft Networks:
\\primary domain controller\user's home directory
- Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks:
\\preferred server\sys\mail\user_id
The following conditions are supported when you are using user profiles on a
network:
- Profiles stored on a Windows NT 3.x server on workstations running the
Microsoft Client for Microsoft Networks.
- Profiles stored on a Novell NetWare server, with Windows 95-based
workstations running the Microsoft Client for NetWare Networks.
- Profiles stored on other network operating systems that support the creation
of home directories and supply their own 32-bit client services.
